GWD1-Q16

[QQcandy]

If we still have problem to figure out the answer, can Orange Da Da give a hand to ask Moe Bei Bei ?? :)

[agk99]

好主意，我覺得可以每周整理一次，再請orange大哥去問問看
但這題我還是投B 一票

[Grace]

That's a good ieda.

還好這題我今天早上上AWA專題班的時候有記得帶去問老莫... :P

在這邊跟大家報告一下.....

原題可以改成...

Soaring television costs accounted for more than half the spending in the presidential campaign of 1992, a greater proportion than ( television costs did ) in any previous election.

本題考硬梆梆比較....我想大家都知道考比較...但是忽略硬梆梆...

其實做比較題目最快的方式就是把比較的東西直接搬到than之後...然後檢查時態跟資訊的新舊....

括弧內是舊資訊..可以省略...

A. a greater proportion than it was (代名詞it不對...was也不對..應該用did)

B. a greater proportion than (tv costs是舊資訊..可以省略)

C. a greater proportion than they have been (時態不對...關於這個我之前提供了另一個以時間做比較的方法等等我在下面說明一下...)

D. which is greater than was so (這還要看嗎?根本就亂寫)

E. which is greater than it has been (同上)


我之前提供說莫老上課說到時間可以做為比較的條件...在本題中並不適用...

因為本題提到明確的年代只有1992...than之後是用之前任何的選舉...

莫老舉例說2000年的總統選舉跟之前任何的選舉...很明顯並沒有時間點在其中..

接著我貢獻一題要用時間點比較的題目給大家參考...我發在另一帖好了...

Hi Grace,

Did you get any response yet in regards to Q16. My answer is "B" since I had the same analysis as Illuna (explanation above).

Anyone else have other comments?

老師這樣解，我是有點意外，因為TV cost不就己經用spending比過了呢，括號內該是propotion比propotion才對呀 ，怪怪怪

agk哥哥....原題TV cost並不是跟spending比喔.....

在這邊more than是idiomatic用法....意思是....

more/less than

used when you are saying that a particular number or amount is above or below a certain level.

可能是我的解釋在did這邊沒有解釋清楚.....

這邊的did應該表Tv cost accounted for the spending in any previous election.

句意應該是說TV cost/spending in 1992 >> TV cost/spending in previos election

這樣有比較清楚嗎??抱歉吶...我在問老莫的時候可能太緊張有些地方讓大家有誤解.....^^;;

Hello 各位:
昨天上課時我有請教我們老師. 這提的正確答案是B沒錯.
正確的說法應該是 a greater proportion than they had been.
they had been 可以省略, 因為讀者已經很清楚 than後面要表達的是什麼 [省略原則]
@前面有提到時間是 1992 後面提到 any previous election--因此時間很明確 後面要用過去完成式
@主詞是 soaring television costs 也很清楚

[Cheesecake]

Grace thanks for the follow up.

[szyang]

這題老莫上課時有提到...現在複習的時候才想起來...跟OG198提類似...
ANS:B

B:a greater proportion than (Soaring television costs accounted for half the
spending)in any previous election

希望這樣有清楚說...
在OG198中有提到如果是指先前發生的事的話...則C應該用的是過去完成式所以C是有誤的歐!

我也同意是B沒錯，不過原句省略的應該是 they had done 而非 been 吧？！
因為取代的是 television costs had accounted for 所以沿用前面的主動式
降想，應該沒錯吧？ 各位大大們∼∼

[haijung]

這一題莫老師上課有說過, 答案是(B), 原句如下:

a greater proportion than soaring TV costs accounted for half the spending in any previous election

劃線部分是舊資訊, 紅色是新資訊, 所以舊的全部省去, 留新的. 所以就是答案(B)

[giyoshi]

they have been
應該是有問題的 現在完成式應該是說近視眼 過去有 而且 一直到現在
但是1992跟previous election應該是....

兩件事情發生在過去,先完成的用過去完成....
如果要用的話應該用they had been....不是have been....

只是文法對....句子還是怪...

所以還是B圓融些!!!!~~~~

[個人想法^^"]

句子會覺得怪怪的是因為been用的不大正確
如果覺得老莫的did沒有呼應in any previous election
那就應變成
, a greater proportion than television costs had accounted for the spending in any previous election.
進一步簡化為
, a greater proportion than they had in any previous election.
因為ACDE絕對錯，所以選B

[ebyayaya]

我個人的意見是用be動詞來判斷，主詞they (Soaring television costs) have been "proportion"
= > Costs = proportion ??

我想這是最大的禁忌. 我也認為B不是那麼完美, 但至少他是可以被接受的.

繼續討論吧！
